How we handle bath resealing in Llysworney
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Llysworney as everywhere else we work.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
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.

How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Llysworney. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Llysworney
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
