Bath resealing in Porthgwidden without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Porthgwidden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Porthgwidden
How much does bath resealing cost in Porthgwidden?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Porthgwidden?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthgwidden as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What we are called out for in Porthgwidden
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
