Bath resealing in Redburn without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

Redburn: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover Redburn?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Redburn and the rest of Northumberland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Redburn
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Redburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Redburn. The price reflects:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
