How we handle bath resealing in Old Newton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Why it’s worth resealing in Old Newton
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Old Newton
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Old Newton
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Old Newton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
