How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need bath resealing in Maerdy
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Maerdy: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Maerdy and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How much does bath resealing cost in Maerdy?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
