Bath Resealing in Pontcanna
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Pontcanna, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in Pontcanna without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Pontcanna?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal

Pontcanna questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
