Bath resealing in Afon-wen without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Common questions in Afon-wen
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Afon-wen and the rest of Flintshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- A messy previous reseal

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Why it’s worth resealing in Afon-wen
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Afon-wen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
