Bath resealing in Doxford Park, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Doxford Park and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Signs you need bath resealing in Doxford Park

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

FAQs for Doxford Park

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?

The whole UK, including all of Sunderland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure 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, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Doxford Park, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doxford Park as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Doxford Park

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Doxford Park. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
