Bath resealing for Leitholm homes

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Leitholm, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bath resealing in Leitholm, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Leitholm and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Leitholm, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Leitholm questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much does bath resealing cost in Leitholm?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TD12 postcode.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northumberland.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
