Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Low Pittington, County Durham
Bath resealing across Low Pittington and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Bath resealing in Low Pittington, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Low Pittington
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
See our prices page.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from Low Pittington
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Low Pittington?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
