Bath resealing at your home in New Town
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Questions from New Town
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Common problems we fix in New Town
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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 it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Most clients in New Town get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
