Bath resealing in Newtown

Resealing in Newtown: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

Bath resealing in Newtown, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we’re called out for in Newtown

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Newtown

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Newtown?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Newtown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
