How we handle bath resealing in Ynysforgan
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Ynysforgan
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Ynysforgan?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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, to open the joint fully.

Common problems we fix in Ynysforgan
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Resealing in Ynysforgan: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ynysforgan
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
