Bath resealing at your home in Y Drenewydd

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s stained silicone and unsealed corners, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Y Drenewydd

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Resealing in Y Drenewydd: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Y Drenewydd

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we are called out for in Y Drenewydd

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
