Bath Resealing in Garnlydan
Our repair technicians come to Garnlydan for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath resealing in Garnlydan without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Garnlydan and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Garnlydan
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Garnlydan: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Garnlydan?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Garnlydan. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garnlydan as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Garnlydan, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
