Bath resealing near Upper Cwmbrân

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run 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, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

About our bath resealing in Upper Cwmbrân

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

FAQs for Upper Cwmbrân

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Torfaen.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Upper Cwmbrân

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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