Resealing in Newchurch: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Bath resealing in Newchurch, done in place

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. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Newchurch

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common problems we fix in Newchurch

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Newchurch: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you cover Newchurch?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Newchurch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
