How we handle bath resealing in Ystradgynlais
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

When to call us in Ystradgynlais
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Ystradgynlais
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SA9 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
