What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Newsham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about bath resealing in Newsham

Are there extra charges for Newsham?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.
