Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Grindon, Sunderland
We travel to Grindon for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Grindon without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why it’s worth resealing in Grindon
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Grindon. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Grindon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
