About our bath resealing in Cox Green
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cox Green and across Sunderland.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cox Green
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Sunderland.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
