Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

About our bath resealing in Newfoundpool

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Newfoundpool: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leicester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
