About our bath resealing in Newtown
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Newtown. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
