Bath resealing in Doddington without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

Common questions in Doddington
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Doddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Doddington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Doddington: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
