Bath resealing in Craghead, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Craghead
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Craghead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Craghead: your questions answered
How much does bath resealing cost in Craghead?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
