How we handle bath resealing in Boleside
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
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.

Common questions in Boleside
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Boleside?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Boleside.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Boleside
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Boleside
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
