Bath Resealing in Newark-on-Trent
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Newark-on-Trent, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
How we handle bath resealing in Newark-on-Trent
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Newark-on-Trent: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Newark-on-Trent. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
