Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Faverdale, Darlington
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Faverdale, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath resealing in Faverdale
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Faverdale
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Faverdale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Common questions in Faverdale
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
