Bath resealing at your home in Harraton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Harraton
Do you cover Harraton?
We do. We send a technician to Harraton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you cover the entire of Sunderland?
The entire UK, including all of Sunderland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Harraton
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
