Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Rhos, Neath Port Talbot

About our bath resealing in Rhos
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rhos and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What else we do in Rhos
Common questions in Rhos
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Neath Port Talbot.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover Rhos?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rhos. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rhos. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
