Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Butterknowle
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

What else we do in Butterknowle
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Butterknowle. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
