Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cwm-ffrwd-oer, Torfaen

- Silicone smeared on tiles

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What we’re called out for in Cwm-ffrwd-oer
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Cwm-ffrwd-oer
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
