Bath resealing in Polgigga, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and stained silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Polgigga
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Polgigga
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polgigga as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Polgigga, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
