Trusted bath resealing in Consett

Bath resealing in Consett, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Consett questions

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Consett?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What we are called out for in Consett

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlords, agents and businesses in Consett

If you manage property in Consett, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
