Bath resealing near New Coundon

Bath resealing at your home in New Coundon

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in New Coundon

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Coundon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in New Coundon

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in New Coundon

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in New Coundon

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in New Coundon?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
