What affects the price in Rushyford
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.

Ask for a price

Resealing in Rushyford: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from Rushyford
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Rushyford?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL17 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Rushyford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
