About our bath resealing in Troedyrhiw

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When to call us in Troedyrhiw

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Troedyrhiw

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you work in Troedyrhiw?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Troedyrhiw and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
