Common questions in Bettws
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bridgend.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Bath resealing at your home in Bettws
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath resealing in Bettws
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Bettws. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
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. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
