About our bath resealing in Binchester
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
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. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
FAQs for Binchester
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Binchester and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Binchester

- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
