About our bath resealing in Newmill
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Common problems we fix in Newmill
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Newmill clients choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs

Questions from Newmill
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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.
How much does bath resealing cost in Newmill?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover Newmill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newmill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
