About our bath resealing in Healeyfield
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Resealing in Healeyfield: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit

What we are called out for in Healeyfield
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about bath resealing in Healeyfield
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
