Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cross Inn, Ceredigion
Bath resealing across Cross Inn and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Bath resealing in Cross Inn without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
