Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath

Common problems we fix in Newton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Newton. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WF10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
