Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newbiggin, County Durham
Our technicians come to Newbiggin for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newbiggin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Bath resealing in Newbiggin, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What else we do in Newbiggin
When to call us in Newbiggin
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about bath resealing in Newbiggin
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why it’s worth resealing in Newbiggin
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
