Bath resealing near Hetton

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

Bath resealing in Hetton, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Hetton?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Hetton

For anyone letting property in or around Hetton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

  • Everything repaired in place

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Hetton: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are there extra charges for Hetton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hetton?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BD23 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for 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.
