Bath resealing at your home in Pen-y-cae
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Pen-y-cae
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Pen-y-cae. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common questions in Pen-y-cae
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
