Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Fence Houses, Sunderland
Fixed-price bath resealing in Fence Houses and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How we handle bath resealing in Fence Houses
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 gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Fence Houses
Resealing in Fence Houses: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
See our pricing.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

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 is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
