Newfound questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Newfound?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newfound and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Bath resealing at your home in Newfound
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
When to call us in Newfound
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What affects the price in Newfound
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why it’s worth resealing in Newfound
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
