How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Questions from North Hylton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Hylton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in North Hylton

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why North Hylton clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
