Bath resealing near St Clears

Bath resealing in St Clears, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Clears as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Questions from St Clears

Are there extra charges for St Clears?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What areas do you cover?

All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in St Clears

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in St Clears

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in St Clears: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
