10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath resealing in Wig-fach

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bridgend.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wig-fach

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wig-fach use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Resealing in Wig-fach: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Wig-fach

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Wig-fach?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wig-fach and the rest of Bridgend. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wig-fach. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wig-fach, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
