Bath Resealing for Gateshead homes
Bath resealing across Gateshead and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in Gateshead, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath resealing in Gateshead
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Gateshead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing in Gateshead: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
