Trusted bath resealing in Greenside

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing in Greenside, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and stained silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Greenside

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

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.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Greenside questions

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the entire of Gateshead?

Everywhere in the UK, Greenside included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
