Penrhiwgarreg questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long will it take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Penrhiwgarreg
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
