Bath resealing at your home in Newsholme
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Newsholme
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Newsholme get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Questions from Newsholme
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN14 postcode.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
