Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in West Cross, Swansea
Bath resealing in West Cross without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
About our bath resealing in West Cross
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in West Cross
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in West Cross
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
