Bath Resealing in Tongwynlais
We travel to Tongwynlais for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Bath resealing in Tongwynlais without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tongwynlais as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common problems we fix in Tongwynlais
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Tongwynlais
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths

- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Tongwynlais. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Tongwynlais and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Questions from Tongwynlais
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
