Bath resealing at your home in Trefechan
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trefechan use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What else we do in Trefechan
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal

Trefechan questions
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Trefechan?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
