Bath resealing for Bellingham homes

Bath resealing in Bellingham, done in place

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 gaps in the seal and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Bellingham

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to Bellingham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bellingham and the rest of Northumberland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

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

When to call us in Bellingham

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bellingham

For anyone letting property in or around Bellingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bellingham

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
