Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shiney Row, Sunderland
Our repair technicians come to Shiney Row for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Bath resealing in Shiney Row without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Shiney Row
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Shiney Row
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sunderland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shiney Row use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why it’s worth resealing in Shiney Row
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Most customers in Shiney Row get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
