Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing at your home in Hart Station

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and unsealed corners.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Resealing in Hart Station: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

What we’re called out for in Hart Station

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath resealing in Hart Station

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.
