How we handle bath resealing in High Spen
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Your questions about bath resealing in High Spen
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Gateshead?
Across the UK, so High Spen is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Spen
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Spen as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
