About our bath resealing in Coundongate
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, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Your questions about bath resealing in Coundongate
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Coundongate?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Coundongate. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL14 postcode.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coundongate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
What affects the price in Coundongate
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Coundongate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Resealing in Coundongate: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
