Bath resealing at your home in Newborough

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Newborough

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Resealing in Newborough: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

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.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
