How we handle bath resealing in Newnham

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why it’s worth resealing in Newnham

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newnham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common problems we fix in Newnham

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Newnham: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Newnham?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
