Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Crook, County Durham
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Crook, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
How we handle bath resealing in Crook
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, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crook and across County Durham.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When to call us in Crook
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business

Your questions about bath resealing in Crook
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
