Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Close House questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Close House?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Close House and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Close House, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we are called out for in Close House
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
