Bath resealing near Newtoft

Common problems we fix in Newtoft

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Newtoft without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Newtoft

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Newtoft and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise 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.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtoft as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
