Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Fairwater, Cardiff
Our repair technicians come to Fairwater for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
About our bath resealing in Fairwater
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and an untidy old seal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fairwater as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Fairwater get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairwater use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Fairwater
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Fairwater. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
