Bath resealing at your home in Abercorn

What else we do in Abercorn
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Abercorn
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Basins & vanity units
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Abercorn. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Abercorn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Abercorn, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- 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.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Abercorn: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
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 repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Common problems we fix in Abercorn
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
