For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Gold Tops: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Newport?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Gold Tops. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
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.

Advice
Resealing in Gold Tops: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
