Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for North Shields

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including North Shields. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Shields. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in North Shields

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Signs you need bath resealing in North Shields

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
