Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Eryholme, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Darlington.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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.

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Eryholme clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Eryholme

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the whole of Darlington?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Eryholme. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Eryholme?

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
