Bath resealing for Carley Hill homes

Bath resealing at your home in Carley Hill

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Carley Hill questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover Carley Hill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Carley Hill and the rest of Sunderland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why it’s worth resealing in Carley Hill

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carley Hill

If you manage property in Carley Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What we’re called out for in Carley Hill

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
