Need bath resealing in Brandon?

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

About our bath resealing in Brandon

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Brandon and across County Durham.

Common questions in Brandon

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long does a reseal take?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Resealing in Brandon: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brandon

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we are called out for in Brandon

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

  • How to care for the finish
