Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Nelson, Merthyr Tydfil
Bath resealing for Nelson, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
Can I fix it myself?
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 take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath resealing in Nelson without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Nelson: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nelson. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Related advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Nelson, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Nelson
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Nelson contact us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common questions in Nelson
Do you come to Nelson?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Nelson. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
