Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Pitcot, Bridgend
Fixed-price bath resealing in Pitcot and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
How we handle bath resealing in Pitcot
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pitcot
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Pitcot?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Do you need bath resealing in Pitcot?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
