Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Little Thorpe, County Durham

Bath resealing in Little Thorpe without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Little Thorpe
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Thorpe
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Most customers in Little Thorpe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
