How we handle bath resealing in Dowlais
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Merthyr Tydfil.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dowlais
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowlais
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dowlais. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Dowlais questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Dowlais. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
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, so the joint is at its widest.
