About our bath resealing in Newbottle
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before you book
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbottle
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Newbottle and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Newbottle
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Newbottle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newbottle. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
