Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Pwll, Carmarthenshire
We travel to Pwll for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing in Pwll, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pwll and across Carmarthenshire.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Pwll. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Pwll: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Pwll?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pwll and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA15 postcode.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
When to call us in Pwll
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pwll use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why it’s worth resealing in Pwll
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
