How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Newton. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Newton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath resealing at your home in Newton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth resealing in Newton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Your questions about bath resealing in Newton
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Newton
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
