Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Machen, Caerphilly
Local bath resealing for Machen: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
About our bath resealing in Machen
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
In and around Machen, a reseal is a short visit, plus curing time.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Resealing in Machen: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Around Machen, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair is one visit from us.
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. For a home in Machen, we normally park close by and start immediately.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Machen questions
Do you take on commercial work in Machen?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
I let a flat near Crosskeys station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. Send photos and the address, and we will quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Do you need bath resealing in Machen?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Machen Primary School, changing rooms and washrooms can be repaired in place too.
