Bath resealing in Cantref without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Cantref. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Advice
Questions from Cantref
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Cantref?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cantref.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Cantref?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cantref and the rest of Monmouthshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
