Bath resealing in Penrhys without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
