How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Bearsbridge. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bearsbridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing in Bearsbridge without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with stained silicone and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

Landlord and trade work in Bearsbridge

If you manage property in Bearsbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Bearsbridge

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
