Bath resealing at your home in Ramshaw
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Ramshaw, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ramshaw use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
When to call us in Ramshaw
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Your questions about bath resealing in Ramshaw
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
