Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Star, Isle of Anglesey
Fixed-price bath resealing in Star and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we handle bath resealing in Star
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Star. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Star questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When to call us in Star
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Resealing in Star: 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. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath

- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
