Bath resealing in Newfield, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Newfield questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Newfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
