Bath resealing for Croft-on-Tees homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing in Croft-on-Tees without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Croft-on-Tees

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Do you need bath resealing in Croft-on-Tees?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Croft-on-Tees: your questions answered

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Croft-on-Tees?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Darlington and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
