Bath resealing in New Town without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Why it’s worth resealing in New Town

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in New Town

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t 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 pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

For a price in New Town, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

New Town: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you come to New Town?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to New Town for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
