Bath resealing at your home in Aberarth
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Aberarth. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Aberarth
Letting agents often 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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberarth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Questions from Aberarth
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Aberarth?
We do. We send a technician to Aberarth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Aberarth
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
