Your questions about bath resealing in Longbenton
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Longbenton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
About our bath resealing in Longbenton
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Longbenton and across North Tyneside.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Landlord and trade work in Longbenton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Longbenton
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Longbenton customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
