How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Bath resealing at your home in Eglwysilan
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Use 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, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
FAQs for Eglwysilan
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?
We cover the entire UK, including Eglwysilan and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Other services in Eglwysilan
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Eglwysilan
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
