Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Pwll-mawr, Cardiff
Bath resealing across Pwll-mawr and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath resealing in Pwll-mawr without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Pwll-mawr?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from photos?

How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pwll-mawr.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What affects the price in Pwll-mawr
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Resealing in Pwll-mawr: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before booking
- No extra charge for your area
See our prices page.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Baths

What we do, step by step

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.

- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
