Bath resealing in Harbottle, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Harbottle and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Harbottle
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you come to Harbottle?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Harbottle and the rest of Northumberland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What affects the price in Harbottle
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When to call us in Harbottle
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why it’s worth resealing in Harbottle
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
