Bath resealing at your home in Rhyd-y-car
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Rhyd-y-car and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Can I fix it myself?
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 pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Rhyd-y-car: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Rhyd-y-car?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What areas do you cover?
All of Merthyr Tydfil, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
