About our bath resealing in Hopkinstown
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Carmarthenshire.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hopkinstown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Hopkinstown questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
