About our bath resealing in Llanrhidian
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Llanrhidian. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
