Bath resealing in Townhill, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth resealing in Townhill
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlord and trade work in Townhill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Townhill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
FAQs for Townhill
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
The whole UK, including all of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Swansea.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
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.
