Bath resealing for Shiremoor homes

Common problems we fix in Shiremoor

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Common reasons people in Shiremoor contact us are:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath resealing in Shiremoor, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shiremoor and across North Tyneside.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Shiremoor. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shiremoor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Shiremoor get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Shiremoor: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shiremoor?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
