Bath resealing in Lane Head without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Lane Head: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Lane Head included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Lane Head
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What else we do in Lane Head
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Lane Head: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
