Your questions about bath resealing in Shield Row
Do you come to Shield Row?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shield Row. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How much does bath resealing cost in Shield Row?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH9 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shield Row
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Shield Row
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Common reasons people in Shield Row contact us include:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Shield Row. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
What your bath or shower is made of matters
