Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in East Boldon

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in East Boldon

There is no area surcharge for East Boldon. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

Your questions about bath resealing in East Boldon

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Boldon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
