Bath Resealing in Penylan
Fixed-price bath resealing in Penylan and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
Bath resealing in Penylan, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why it’s worth resealing in Penylan
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we are called out for in Penylan
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
FAQs for Penylan
Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?
Everywhere in the UK, Penylan included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you work in Penylan?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Penylan. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
