About our bath resealing in Tyn-y-cwm
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tyn-y-cwm and across Swansea.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Signs you need bath resealing in Tyn-y-cwm
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Tyn-y-cwm
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
