Bath resealing in Newton Tracey, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newton Tracey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath resealing in Newton Tracey
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you work in Newton Tracey?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newton Tracey and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
