Gosforth: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Newcastle upon Tyne, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Bath resealing in Gosforth, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath resealing in Gosforth
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Gosforth contact us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote

- What aftercare is recommended

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Gosforth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gosforth
