Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Abercregan, Neath Port Talbot
Our technicians come to Abercregan for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
Bath resealing in Abercregan, done in place
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. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Abercregan
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Abercregan: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common problems we fix in Abercregan
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
