About our bath resealing in Lower Penarth
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What else we do in Lower Penarth
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common questions in Lower Penarth
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
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.
