Bath resealing at your home in Carlin How
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Carlin How. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TS13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Carlin How
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Redcar and Cleveland.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
