Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Gilfachreda, Ceredigion
Fixed-price bath resealing in Gilfachreda and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
How we handle bath resealing in Gilfachreda
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. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There’s 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Do you need bath resealing in Gilfachreda?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Gilfachreda
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
