About our bath resealing in Newbattle
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newbattle as everywhere else we work.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Newbattle
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Newbattle. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
