Bath resealing at your home in Caeffynnon
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Caeffynnon as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caeffynnon
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Caeffynnon questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Signs you need bath resealing in Caeffynnon
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you cannot clean out
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
