Bath resealing in East Hedleyhope, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Every job is backed for twelve months in East Hedleyhope and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from East Hedleyhope
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Hedleyhope as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why it’s worth resealing in East Hedleyhope
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, 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.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
