Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in Saltmarsh, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Saltmarsh as everywhere else we work.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
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. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about bath resealing in Saltmarsh
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Newport.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Saltmarsh?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Saltmarsh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltmarsh
If you manage property in Saltmarsh, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Newport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why it’s worth resealing in Saltmarsh
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
