What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Y Fan. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Bath resealing in Y Fan, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Y Fan
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common questions in Y Fan
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Y Fan and the rest of Powys. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
