For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elemore Vale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Bath resealing at your home in Elemore Vale
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Do you need bath resealing in Elemore Vale?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
Is resealing worth it?

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Elemore Vale
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
