How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Newbridge: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bath and North East Somerset.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Signs you need bath resealing in Newbridge
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newbridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
