The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Landlord and trade work in Newtown

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Newtown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Newtown questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Newtown?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newtown. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Signs you need bath resealing in Newtown

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
