Bath resealing in Peterlee without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Peterlee: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Peterlee

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

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Peterlee, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we work on in Peterlee

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

Common problems we fix in Peterlee

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Peterlee questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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