Bath resealing near Tonypistyll

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in Tonypistyll

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Tonypistyll

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

FAQs for Tonypistyll

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
