Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Greatham. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath resealing at your home in Greatham
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Greatham questions
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Greatham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Greatham and the rest of Hartlepool. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greatham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greatham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

What affects the price in Greatham
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Greatham
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
