About our bath resealing in Carrville
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with 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 an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Carrville and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carrville as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Your questions about bath resealing in Carrville
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you come to Carrville?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Carrville. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
