Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Gilfach Goch, Rhondda Cynon Taff
We travel to Gilfach Goch for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are 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.
Bath resealing in Gilfach Goch, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Advice
Questions from Gilfach Goch
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Gilfach Goch. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
