- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Bath resealing in Tircoed without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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.
Tircoed questions
Do you work in Tircoed?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tircoed for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlord and trade work in Tircoed
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Signs you need bath resealing in Tircoed
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
