Bath resealing at your home in Bryncethin
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bryncethin
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How much does bath resealing cost in Bryncethin?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common problems we fix in Bryncethin
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
