- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Why it’s worth resealing in Gilwern
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we handle bath resealing in Gilwern
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Gilwern questions
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Gilwern is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
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 will tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilwern
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
