Bath resealing in Heddon-on-the-Wall, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Landlord and trade work in Heddon-on-the-Wall

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Heddon-on-the-Wall

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Heddon-on-the-Wall

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Heddon-on-the-Wall: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Heddon-on-the-Wall?

We do. We send a technician to Heddon-on-the-Wall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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