What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Bath resealing at your home in Newtown

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Newtown and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Newtown questions

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover the entire of Dudley?

All of Dudley, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Newtown?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Newtown

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Newtown

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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