Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hamsterley, Gateshead
We travel to Hamsterley for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Bath resealing in Hamsterley without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Hamsterley?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hamsterley questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Do you come to Hamsterley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hamsterley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
