Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our bath resealing in Newstead
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newstead and across the Scottish Borders.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Newstead. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath resealing in Newstead
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Newstead?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Do you need bath resealing in Newstead?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you can’t clean out

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Resealing in Newstead: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
