About our bath resealing in Newnham
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Newnham: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does bath resealing cost in Newnham?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
