About our bath resealing in New Abbey

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

New Abbey questions

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to New Abbey?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Abbey. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Abbey

If you manage property in New Abbey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Abbey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in New Abbey

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in New Abbey, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in New Abbey: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
