Bath Resealing in Newbiggin-on-Lune
We travel to Newbiggin-on-Lune for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

About our bath resealing in Newbiggin-on-Lune
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and gaps by the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Newbiggin-on-Lune
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
When to call us in Newbiggin-on-Lune
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again

Newbiggin-on-Lune questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Newbiggin-on-Lune. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
