- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book

About our bath resealing in Houghton-le-Side
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Houghton-le-Side
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Darlington.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
