Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cross Inn, Rhondda Cynon Taff
Bath resealing for Cross Inn, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath resealing in Cross Inn
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, in baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
