Bath Resealing for Gelli-deg homes
Bath resealing across Gelli-deg and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF48 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Gelli-deg
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common questions in Gelli-deg
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover Gelli-deg?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gelli-deg from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gelli-deg?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What affects the price in Gelli-deg
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
