What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Ffynnon-ddrain: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we’re called out for in Ffynnon-ddrain

Sealant does not last forever. 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:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
