Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we handle bath resealing in Barnard Castle
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. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Do you need bath resealing in Barnard Castle?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Barnard Castle: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
