Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newport, Cornwall
Our repair technicians come to Newport for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Newport, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Newport
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Newport included. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover Newport?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Newport and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do you need bath resealing in Newport?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Newport contact us include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice

- Whether the price covers travel
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Newport. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
