Bath resealing at your home in Pen-sarn
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gwynedd.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Pen-sarn
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Pen-sarn
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath resealing in Pen-sarn?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
