How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
About our bath resealing in Fochriw
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Fochriw
Are there extra charges for Fochriw?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Caerphilly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
