DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Seaburn questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you come to Seaburn?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Seaburn and the rest of Sunderland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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 will get one combined price.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Landlord and trade work in Seaburn
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Seaburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Seaburn
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Seaburn and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Seaburn
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Signs you need bath resealing in Seaburn
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
