How we handle bath resealing in Waunfawr
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need bath resealing in Waunfawr?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What affects the price in Waunfawr
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
