Trusted bath resealing in Newbury

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we handle bath resealing in Newbury

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Newbury: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you work in Newbury?

We do. We send a technician to Newbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newbury

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

What affects the price in Newbury

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Newbury get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath resealing in Newbury?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
