Bath Resealing in Middlesbrough

How bath resealing works in Middlesbrough

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix unsealed corners and gaps in the seal, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

• The type of damage
• How hard the colour is to match
• How many areas need work
• Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

• A picture taken from further back
• One sharp close-up of the damage
• Any earlier repairs or coatings
• Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

• Dry the seal after bathing
• Run the extractor fan during and after showers
• Keep bottles off the joints
• Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
