Book bath resealing in Hemlington

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we handle bath resealing in Hemlington

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s stained silicone and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hemlington

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hemlington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hemlington

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Do you need bath resealing in Hemlington?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture 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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hemlington

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Middlesbrough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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.

How long before I can shower?
