Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Craigside, County Durham
We travel to Craigside for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black mould in the sealant
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing in Craigside, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about bath resealing in Craigside
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Do you need bath resealing in Craigside?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
