What affects the price in Hetton-le-Hole
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath resealing in Hetton-le-Hole, done in place
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 black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Hetton-le-Hole
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
