Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Bath resealing in Newton without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Newton

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Newton

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Newton. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why it’s worth resealing in Newton

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Newton

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
