Bath resealing at your home in Rickleton
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Rickleton
There’s no charge for travel to Rickleton. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise 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.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Rickleton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Rickleton: your questions answered
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Rickleton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Rickleton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rickleton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Landmarks near Rickleton

Rickleton’s nearest station is Chester-Le-Street station, roughly 2 miles south-west. A little further out are Ankers House Museum (1.8 miles south-west) and Chester-le-Street (1.6 miles south-west).

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in Rickleton
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in Rickleton
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
