Bath resealing at your home in Tai'r-heol
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Tai'r-heol, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What affects the price in Tai'r-heol
We charge the same across the UK, including Tai'r-heol. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Tai'r-heol
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you cover the entire of Merthyr Tydfil?
All of Merthyr Tydfil, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
Related advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
