Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing in Ynysmaerdy without replacing anything

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 old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

Common problems we fix in Ynysmaerdy

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Ynysmaerdy

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long before I can shower?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How much does bath resealing cost in Ynysmaerdy?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Ynysmaerdy

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
