Bath resealing for Newtown homes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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

Bath resealing at your home in Newtown

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Newtown: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we’re called out for in Newtown

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
