Bath resealing in Derwen, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Derwen
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:

- Sealant that is split or lifting

- Old sealant that looks dirty

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
