About our bath resealing in Elswick
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs

Elswick questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What affects the price in Elswick
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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.
Do you need bath resealing in Elswick?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
