How we handle bath resealing in Newton Downs
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Also in Newton Downs
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
