FAQs for Rhiw
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Rhiw?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Bath resealing in Rhiw without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why it’s worth resealing in Rhiw
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhiw as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
