We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How we handle bath resealing in Lower Common
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lower Common and across Monmouthshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Common use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Lower Common: your questions answered
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Monmouthshire.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you need bath resealing in Lower Common?
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting

- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Resealing in Lower Common: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
