About our bath resealing in Newton Rigg

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and stained silicone, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Newton Rigg

For anyone letting property in or around Newton Rigg, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Newton Rigg. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any 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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Newton Rigg

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
