Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newlands, Staffordshire
Local bath resealing for Newlands: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
About our bath resealing in Newlands
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Questions from Newlands
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Newlands.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

What affects the price in Newlands
There’s no charge for travel to Newlands. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Newlands and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Newlands: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
