- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Bath resealing in Cardiff, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

Signs you need bath resealing in Cardiff
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
Why it’s worth resealing in Cardiff
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
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, to open the joint fully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cardiff
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Cardiff, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
FAQs for Cardiff
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work in Cardiff?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cardiff for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
