What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Bath resealing at your home in School Aycliffe
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in School Aycliffe
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you come to School Aycliffe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to School Aycliffe and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in School Aycliffe
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
