Bath resealing in New Town

About our bath resealing in New Town

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in New Town and across Somerset.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for New Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in New Town

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Town use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Resealing in New Town: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why New Town clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in New Town

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How much does bath resealing cost in New Town?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
