Bath resealing in Y Bontnewydd-ar-Wy, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Y Bontnewydd-ar-Wy

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Y Bontnewydd-ar-Wy contact us include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Y Bontnewydd-ar-Wy: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
