Newbie questions
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Newbie?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Newbie?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DG12 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover Newbie?

How we handle bath resealing in Newbie
We cut out all of the old sealant, 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. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Newbie
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Newbie
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
