The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need bath resealing in Tir-y-berth

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Questions from Tir-y-berth

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tir-y-berth included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Caerphilly and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Read our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
