- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

About our bath resealing in Gatehead
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Gatehead
Do you work in Gatehead?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gatehead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gatehead?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Signs you need bath resealing in Gatehead
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Gatehead
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Gatehead
We do not charge extra for travel to Gatehead. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
