Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath resealing in Hutton Rudby, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
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.
Signs you need bath resealing in Hutton Rudby
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Your questions about bath resealing in Hutton Rudby
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why it’s worth resealing in Hutton Rudby
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
