Bath resealing in Edmundbyers without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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 we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

Your questions about bath resealing in Edmundbyers

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you need bath resealing in Edmundbyers?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Edmundbyers

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
