- Gaps by the taps

- Silicone smeared on tiles
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray

Resealing in Tir-Phil: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we are called out for in Tir-Phil
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Tir-Phil
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you work in Tir-Phil?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tir-Phil from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
