About our bath resealing in Newtown
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Newtown
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Newtown. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Newtown
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
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 whole item and your postcode.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
