Bath resealing in Abertillery, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Abertillery
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Related advice
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
