Bath resealing in Long Newton without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, in baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common problems we fix in Long Newton
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage

What else we do in Long Newton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Long Newton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
