Bath resealing at your home in Porthyrhyd
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Porthyrhyd
Do you come to Porthyrhyd?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Porthyrhyd from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Porthyrhyd is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What affects the price in Porthyrhyd
We don’t charge extra for travel to Porthyrhyd. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Porthyrhyd and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Porthyrhyd
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Resealing in Porthyrhyd: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
