Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Pontarddulais?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Pontarddulais get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about bath resealing in Pontarddulais
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Pontarddulais?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Pontarddulais from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Why it’s worth resealing in Pontarddulais
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
