How we handle bath resealing in Preston-on-Tees
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Preston-on-Tees. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Questions from Preston-on-Tees
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you cover Preston-on-Tees?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Preston-on-Tees from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Stockton-on-Tees. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we are called out for in Preston-on-Tees
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
