Bath resealing at your home in Rhydlafr
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhydlafr use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Common problems we fix in Rhydlafr
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal

Common questions in Rhydlafr
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Rhydlafr get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
