Bath resealing at your home in Newtown Common
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Newtown Common
Newtown Common: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RG20 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Signs you need bath resealing in Newtown Common
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
