How we handle bath resealing in Pen-y-cae
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we’re called out for in Pen-y-cae
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
