Need bath resealing in Wenallt?

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath resealing in Wenallt

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Whether it’s stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Wenallt

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wenallt use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Wenallt

We charge the same across the UK, including Wenallt. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath resealing in Wenallt

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Wenallt questions

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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