How we handle bath resealing in Glan-y-pwll
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Glan-y-pwll
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath resealing in Glan-y-pwll
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Glan-y-pwll?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
