Bath resealing in Capel Hendre without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Capel Hendre
There is no charge for travel to Capel Hendre. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Capel Hendre
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- Missing sealant behind the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
