DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath resealing in Penrhyn-coch, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Penrhyn-coch as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
