Do you need bath resealing in Albany?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Albany
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gateshead and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
FAQs for Albany
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
