Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Ilston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.

Bath resealing in Ilston without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ilston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Ilston is about 5 miles south of Gorseinon, in Swansea. Clients in Ilston get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Ilston is one of 153 towns and villages in Swansea we cover.
Our technicians cover all of SA3 and SA2 and the streets around it. Ilston sits on or near the A4118, which makes travel easy.

Green spaces nearby include Broad Pool and Mynydd-bach-y-cocs.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Ilston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get 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.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Resealing in Ilston: why it matters
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ilston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Do you need bath resealing in Ilston?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
