Bath resealing in Newtown

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath resealing in Newtown, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise 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.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Newtown: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are there extra charges for Newtown?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What affects the price in Newtown

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Newtown

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
