Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we handle bath resealing in Caer-went
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Caer-went questions
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Caer-went?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Caer-went. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
