Bath resealing at your home in Phoenix Row
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Phoenix Row
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Phoenix Row. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Phoenix Row
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Signs you need bath resealing in Phoenix Row

Common reasons people in Phoenix Row contact us are:
- An untidy old seal

Phoenix Row questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Phoenix Row included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
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.
