Trusted bath resealing in Bishop Auckland

Bath resealing in Bishop Auckland, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bishop Auckland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

When to call us in Bishop Auckland

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Bishop Auckland

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you seal over the old sealant?
