How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Herrington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash

How we handle bath resealing in East Herrington
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in East Herrington and across Sunderland.

East Herrington questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for East Herrington?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Resealing in East Herrington: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
