How bath resealing works in Newtownabbey
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat 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. We are frequently asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, in baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we are called out for in Newtownabbey
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Newtownabbey get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath resealing in Newtownabbey
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Newtownabbey?
Across the UK, and that includes Newtownabbey. Prices do not change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
