Bath resealing at your home in Haydon Bridge
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Haydon Bridge: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Signs you need bath resealing in Haydon Bridge
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps by the taps

Why it’s worth resealing in Haydon Bridge
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
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.
