Bath resealing in Rock without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Do you need bath resealing in Rock?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

Gaps by the taps
Mould you can’t clean out
Silicone coming away from the tiles
Stained silicone

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The size and number of damaged areas
What the surface is made of
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Where you are, by postcode
The material, if you know it
One picture of the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Rock

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA12 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Neath Port Talbot.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rock

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

The old silicone is cut out completely.
We remove the residue and clean the joint.
Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.

Preparing for the visit

Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
