Bath Resealing in Newcourt
We travel to Newcourt for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath resealing in Newcourt
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Newcourt: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Newcourt is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Newcourt?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newcourt. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Newcourt and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
