Bath resealing in Newburgh without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Newburgh and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Newburgh
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How much does bath resealing cost in Newburgh?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newburgh
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
