Bath resealing at your home in Hylton Red House
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hylton Red House as everywhere else we work.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SR5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hylton Red House use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Hylton Red House: your questions answered
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you cover Hylton Red House?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hylton Red House. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hylton Red House.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
