We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Abergarwed
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What affects the price in Abergarwed
There is no area surcharge for Abergarwed. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
If you are in Abergarwed and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
