About our bath resealing in Crawcrook
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crawcrook and across Gateshead.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Crawcrook: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Crawcrook?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Crawcrook?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better 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.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Landlord and trade work in Crawcrook
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath resealing in Crawcrook?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Crawcrook
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crawcrook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
