Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ely, Cardiff
We travel to Ely for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
Bath resealing in Ely without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 price the job the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Ely
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Ely: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ely?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF5 postcode.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
