Bath resealing in Newent without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and damp near the bath.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newent. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Newent clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from Newent

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Newent. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

We don’t add 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.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Newent

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
