About our bath resealing in Newton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and stained silicone.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Questions from Newton
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Newton. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Resealing in Newton: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
