DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath resealing at your home in Merthyr Tewdrig
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Merthyr Tewdrig

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
