Bath resealing in Northumberland Park

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, to open the joint fully.

Bath resealing in Northumberland Park without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Tyneside.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Northumberland Park and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re 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.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Northumberland Park

Do you cover Northumberland Park?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Northumberland Park from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What we’re called out for in Northumberland Park

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
