Questions from Fulwell
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Sunderland.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath resealing cost in Fulwell?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Bath resealing at your home in Fulwell
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Fulwell. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Fulwell, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fulwell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Fulwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
