Bath Resealing in Llantwit Fardre
We travel to Llantwit Fardre for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle bath resealing in Llantwit Fardre
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Llantwit Fardre. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Llantwit Fardre
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
