Bath resealing at your home in Monkton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Monkton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Monkton. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Monkton: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do you come to Monkton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Monkton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of South Tyneside?
Everywhere in the UK, Monkton included. Travel is included in the price.
How much does bath resealing cost in Monkton?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Common problems we fix in Monkton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Monkton contact us include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
