Bath resealing in Porth without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Porth
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath

Porth: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
