Bath resealing at your home in Gwystre
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gwystre
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Gwystre, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gwystre use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
FAQs for Gwystre
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Powys?
Everywhere in the UK, Gwystre included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Gwystre
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
