About our bath resealing in Pontshill
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Pontshill
There is no area surcharge for Pontshill. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Pontshill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will it make a mess?

Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?

Can tenants book a repair?

What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Pontshill. Prices do not change with location.
Do you work in Pontshill?

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Why it’s worth resealing in Pontshill
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
