Bath resealing in Newtown Linford without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Newtown Linford: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Why reseal now?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
