Bath resealing at your home in Elswick
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. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Elswick as everywhere else we work.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about bath resealing in Elswick
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elswick
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Signs you need bath resealing in Elswick
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
