Your questions about bath resealing in Newmarket

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

About our bath resealing in Newmarket

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Newmarket

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Newmarket. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newmarket. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we work on in Newmarket

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

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 job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price
