Bath resealing at your home in Inkerman
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Your questions about bath resealing in Inkerman
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inkerman as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
