Bath resealing near Mickleton

Bath resealing at your home in Mickleton

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Common questions in Mickleton

Do you work in Mickleton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Mickleton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Resealing in Mickleton: why it matters

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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common problems we fix in Mickleton

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
