Bath resealing in Pontyfelin without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed quote from your photos, then we come to you.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath resealing in Pontyfelin without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, 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
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Pontyfelin questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Pontyfelin?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Pontyfelin from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
