How we handle bath resealing in Newbold
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newbold and across Derbyshire.

When to call us in Newbold
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Questions from Newbold
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
