- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Bath resealing in Newton, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need bath resealing in Newton?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Newton questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Newton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
