Bath resealing in Pwll-trap, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pwll-trap, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Pwll-trap

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Pwll-trap?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
