Bath resealing in Newtown, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newtown and across Wokingham.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What we’re called out for in Newtown
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Newtown: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Are there extra charges for Newtown?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What affects the price in Newtown
There is no area surcharge for Newtown. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Newtown and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
