Bath resealing in Akeld, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

When to call us in Akeld
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Common reasons people in Akeld contact us are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, 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, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
FAQs for Akeld
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Akeld
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Akeld, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
