Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Waterloo, Caerphilly
We travel to Waterloo for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
About our bath resealing in Waterloo
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Resealing in Waterloo: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
What affects the price in Waterloo
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Waterloo get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
