Bath resealing in Chollerford without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chollerford and across Northumberland.

Why it’s worth resealing in Chollerford

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Chollerford

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Chollerford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need bath resealing in Chollerford?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
