Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
About our bath resealing in Pen-y-garn
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-y-garn
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-y-garn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What affects the price in Pen-y-garn
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Pen-y-garn questions
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SY24 postcode.
