Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Nurston, Vale of Glamorgan
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Nurston, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath resealing in Nurston without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Nurston: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Are there extra charges for Nurston?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Common problems we fix in Nurston
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What affects the price in Nurston
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Nurston, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
