Salem: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you come to Salem?
We do. We send a technician to Salem for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?
The entire UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How we handle bath resealing in Salem
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salem as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Salem, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Resealing in Salem: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
