Bath resealing in New Town

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle bath resealing in New Town

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Questions from New Town

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Why it’s worth resealing in New Town

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

What affects the price in New Town

We charge the same across the UK, including New Town. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
