How bath resealing works in Gateshead

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

What it costs in Gateshead

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gateshead as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Gateshead get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need bath resealing

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

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.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
