Bath resealing in Poundffald without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Poundffald and across Swansea.

What affects the price in Poundffald
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Poundffald. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
