How we handle bath resealing in Pontardawe
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Landlord and trade work in Pontardawe
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
