Why it’s worth resealing in Low Westwood
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK

How we handle bath resealing in Low Westwood
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Low Westwood and across Gateshead.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Low Westwood
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
