Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Frosterley, County Durham
We travel to Frosterley for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Frosterley
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Frosterley
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Frosterley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Frosterley questions
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
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.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
