How we handle bath resealing in Seaton Carew

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and stained silicone.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Seaton Carew

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What we’re called out for in Seaton Carew

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Seaton Carew. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Seaton Carew

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
