Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Newtown: your questions answered

How much does bath resealing cost in Newtown?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK22 postcode.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newtown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Newtown customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newtown, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
