Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in New Town, County Durham
Bath resealing in and around New Town: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
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.
Bath resealing in New Town, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, in baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Town
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath resealing in New Town
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.
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.

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, New Town included. Travel is included in the price.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
