Bath Resealing in Hutton Henry
We travel to Hutton Henry for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing at your home in Hutton Henry
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hutton Henry as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we are called out for in Hutton Henry
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

What else we do in Hutton Henry
Hutton Henry questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
