Bath resealing in Pont-Tyweli

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath resealing in Pont-Tyweli without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Pont-Tyweli questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Ceredigion, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

  • Gaps in the seal

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pont-Tyweli. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SA44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
