How we handle bath resealing in Hurworth-on-Tees

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and stained silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Hurworth-on-Tees

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Hurworth-on-Tees?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hurworth-on-Tees and the rest of Darlington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Landlord and trade work in Hurworth-on-Tees

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hurworth-on-Tees use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why reseal now?

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 pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
