Newtown: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Bath resealing in Newtown, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Newtown
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What bath resealing costs

Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
