How we handle bath resealing in Eckington
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eckington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eckington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Eckington
We charge the same across the UK, including Eckington. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Common problems we fix in Eckington
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Common reasons people in Eckington contact us are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Eckington
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Eckington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Eckington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
