Bath resealing in Scotswood

Bath resealing in Scotswood without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Scotswood questions

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Newcastle upon Tyne?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Are there extra charges for Scotswood?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Scotswood

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Scotswood

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Common problems we fix in Scotswood

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Scotswood, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
