Bath resealing at your home in Gelligaer
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Gelligaer
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Gelligaer questions
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

If you manage property in Gelligaer, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Signs you need bath resealing in Gelligaer
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Common reasons people in Gelligaer contact us include:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
Why it’s worth resealing in Gelligaer
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
