Bath resealing in Ynyswen without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Ynyswen: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work in Ynyswen?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ynyswen and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Ynyswen and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
