How we handle bath resealing in Newhall

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newhall

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newhall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newhall, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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.

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.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Newhall

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
