About our bath resealing in Tre-Gibbon
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Tre-Gibbon: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you work in Tre-Gibbon?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tre-Gibbon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
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. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
