Bath resealing in North Sunderland

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our bath resealing in North Sunderland

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for North Sunderland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

North Sunderland: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
