Bath resealing for Ty-draw homes

Bath resealing in Ty-draw, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Landlord and trade work in Ty-draw

For anyone letting property in or around Ty-draw, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ty-draw

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Ty-draw customers choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Do you need bath resealing in Ty-draw?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Ty-draw

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Ty-draw?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ty-draw and the rest of Swansea. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Ty-draw is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
