Bath resealing in Kirk Merrington without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common questions in Kirk Merrington
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need bath resealing in Kirk Merrington?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty

What affects the price in Kirk Merrington
We do not charge extra for travel to Kirk Merrington. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: 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.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
