Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Chesterwood, Northumberland
We travel to Chesterwood for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps by the taps
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing at your home in Chesterwood
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Chesterwood: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Chesterwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chesterwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Resealing in Chesterwood: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
