Bath resealing in Coundon, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Coundon and across County Durham.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath

Coundon questions
Do you come to Coundon?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coundon and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
