Common questions in Newington
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Newington. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How we handle bath resealing in Newington
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We are frequently asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, on basins & vanity units, baths 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.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Newington. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not 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 you will get a fixed figure back.

Resealing in Newington: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Newington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Newington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
