Bath resealing in Hooker Gate, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix gaps in the seal and stained silicone, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hooker Gate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hooker Gate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Do you need bath resealing in Hooker Gate?

Common questions in Hooker Gate
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

What else we do in Hooker Gate
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE39 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
