How the visit works

- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath resealing at your home in Pye Corner
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Pye Corner
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Pye Corner?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Pye Corner, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newport and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Resealing in Pye Corner: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
