Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ebchester, County Durham
Local bath resealing for Ebchester: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Ebchester, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:

- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What else we do in Ebchester
Landlord and trade work in Ebchester
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ebchester use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
