What we are called out for in Aberriw
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
About our bath resealing in Aberriw
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about stained silicone and black mould in the sealant.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aberriw and across Powys.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Aberriw. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Your questions about bath resealing in Aberriw
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
