Bath resealing in Old Shotton, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Old Shotton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
