Bath resealing in Yr Olchfa, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about bath resealing in Yr Olchfa
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Common problems we fix in Yr Olchfa
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
