Bath resealing in Porth-y-waen without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Porth-y-waen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
