Bath resealing at your home in Ystalyfera
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Ystalyfera
For anyone letting property in or around Ystalyfera, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Ystalyfera
We do not charge extra for travel to Ystalyfera. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Questions from Ystalyfera
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Ystalyfera?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need bath resealing in Ystalyfera?
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Common reasons people in Ystalyfera contact us include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
