What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Waunarlwydd
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners

Waunarlwydd questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Waunarlwydd?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
