Bath Resealing in Liswerry

Bath resealing in Liswerry, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Liswerry. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Liswerry
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Liswerry
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
