Trusted bath resealing in Wentlooge

Bath resealing at your home in Wentlooge

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Wentlooge?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wentlooge

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
