Bath resealing in The Mumbles

Bath resealing in The Mumbles, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in The Mumbles

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover The Mumbles?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Mumbles. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Mumbles. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
