DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Y Gelli Gandryll
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
Read our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common questions in Y Gelli Gandryll
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Y Gelli Gandryll and the rest of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What affects the price in Y Gelli Gandryll
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
