Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need bath resealing in Pontneddfechan
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Pontneddfechan
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pontneddfechan as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Why it’s worth resealing in Pontneddfechan
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pontneddfechan
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
