Bath resealing in Newchurch without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Resealing in Newchurch: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Newchurch questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you come to Newchurch?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Newchurch and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
