Need bath resealing in Newmachar?

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Bath resealing in Newmachar without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Newmachar and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Newmachar questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Newmachar and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
