What affects the price in New Pound

There is no area surcharge for New Pound. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath resealing in New Pound?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why New Pound customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlord and trade work in New Pound

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price
