When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
About our bath resealing in Newtown
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need bath resealing in Newtown?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage

- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Newtown: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
