Bath resealing in Heighington, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Heighington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Heighington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Heighington
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges

What affects the price in Heighington
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Heighington, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Resealing in Heighington: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Heighington
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Heighington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Heighington and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
