Bath resealing in New Mills, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in New Mills and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from New Mills
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you come to New Mills?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to New Mills. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including New Mills and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Common problems we fix in New Mills
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched

What else we do in New Mills
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
