Bath resealing at your home in Tre-Forgan
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Tre-Forgan. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tre-Forgan, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about bath resealing in Tre-Forgan
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When to call us in Tre-Forgan
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. 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. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
