Bath resealing in Grange Villa, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
FAQs for Grange Villa
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Grange Villa?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode

- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage

What we’re called out for in Grange Villa
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
