About our bath resealing in Heol-las
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Heol-las?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

What affects the price in Heol-las
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
