Bath resealing near Heworth

Landlord and trade work in Heworth

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

About our bath resealing in Heworth

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and stained silicone.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Heworth

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Heworth

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Newcastle upon Tyne. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Heworth?

We do. Technicians travel to Heworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
