Bath resealing at your home in Newnham
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. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Newnham
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What else we do in Newnham
Why it’s worth resealing in Newnham
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need bath resealing in Newnham?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
