Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Abercanaid, Merthyr Tydfil
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Abercanaid, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why it’s worth resealing in Abercanaid
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abercanaid
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abercanaid as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need bath resealing in Abercanaid?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Common reasons people in Abercanaid contact us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Abercanaid. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
