Questions from Red House Farm
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are there extra charges for Red House Farm?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newcastle upon Tyne.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Resealing in Red House Farm: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What else we do in Red House Farm
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
