Bath Resealing for Colwinston homes
Our technicians come to Colwinston for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing at your home in Colwinston
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Other services in Colwinston
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 are paying for.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Colwinston. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When to call us in Colwinston
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
FAQs for Colwinston
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Colwinston?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
