About our bath resealing in Llyswen

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Llyswen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Llyswen

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LD3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Llyswen

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price
