- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
How we handle bath resealing in Argoed
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Argoed. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Resealing in Argoed: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Argoed
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
All of Caerphilly, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Argoed
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
