About our bath resealing in New Lambton
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Towns and villages near New Lambton
What else we do in New Lambton
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Questions from New Lambton
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How much does bath resealing cost in New Lambton?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you need bath resealing in New Lambton?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
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. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
