Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bigyn, Carmarthenshire
Bath resealing across Bigyn and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Bigyn
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Carmarthenshire.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bigyn
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Bigyn and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bigyn, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
