Bath Resealing in Newtimber
We travel to Newtimber for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Bath resealing in Newtimber without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newtimber and across West Sussex.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

Newtimber questions
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common problems we fix in Newtimber
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
