Your questions about bath resealing in Fir Tree
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Are there extra charges for Fir Tree?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Fir Tree is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How much does bath resealing cost in Fir Tree?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Bath resealing in Fir Tree without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can usually put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Why it’s worth resealing in Fir Tree
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
