For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath resealing in Framwellgate Moor without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Framwellgate Moor
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Framwellgate Moor
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we are called out for in Framwellgate Moor
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
