Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in New Wood without replacing anything

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’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in New Wood

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

  • Basins & vanity units

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Wood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath resealing in New Wood?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in New Wood

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Do you come to New Wood?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in New Wood?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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 area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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