Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Chilton Lane, County Durham
Bath resealing across Chilton Lane and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work

About our bath resealing in Chilton Lane
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Chilton Lane
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common problems we fix in Chilton Lane
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths

- Wet rooms
