Bath resealing in Newbiggin, 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 many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need bath resealing in Newbiggin
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
