Bath resealing in Newmarket without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

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

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about bath resealing in Newmarket

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better 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.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL6 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work in Newmarket?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newmarket and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Newmarket

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Newmarket contact us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
