Bath resealing in Newby without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath resealing in Newby
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Newby?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Newby?
We do. We send a technician to Newby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What affects the price in Newby
We do not charge extra for travel to Newby. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Details of any past repairs

- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Newby
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Newby contact us are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
