Landlords, agents and businesses in Crossgate
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Crossgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Bath resealing in Crossgate, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures.

Resealing in Crossgate: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
FAQs for Crossgate
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What a repair cannot fix
