Bath resealing in Ynysybwl without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ynysybwl.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ynysybwl
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
