How we handle bath resealing in High Etherley

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

When we’d advise against a repair

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about bath resealing in High Etherley

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in High Etherley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to High Etherley and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do I need to be at home?

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in High Etherley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
