What else we do in Newnham
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Newnham
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

Resealing in Newnham: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Newnham
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newnham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newnham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Newnham
There’s no charge for travel to Newnham. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Newnham
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
