Bath resealing in West Village

Bath resealing at your home in West Village

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for West Village. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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 to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in West Village

Common questions in West Village

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in West Village?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Village for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
