Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Llanllwch, Carmarthenshire
Our technicians come to Llanllwch for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Llanllwch
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Llanllwch: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Signs you need bath resealing in Llanllwch
Sealant does not last forever. 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:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in Llanllwch
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
