Do you need bath resealing in Newtown Unthank?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Newtown Unthank: your questions answered
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Newtown Unthank?
We do. We send a technician to Newtown Unthank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Newtown Unthank
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
