Bath Resealing in Ynystawe

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in Ynystawe without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Ynystawe questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When to call us in Ynystawe
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
