Bath resealing in Newtown

Bath resealing at your home in Newtown

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

We also cover the places around Newtown: Locksgreen (1 mile east), Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Great Thorness (2 miles north-east), Forest Side (3 miles east) and Rew Street (4 miles north-east).

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Newtown

We do not charge extra for travel to Newtown. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need bath resealing in Newtown?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Newtown

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
