How we handle bath resealing in Pentrecagal
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Pentrecagal
Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?
All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Pentrecagal?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.
- 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.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pentrecagal use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
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.
