About our bath resealing in Shotley Bridge

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Shotley Bridge

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Why it’s worth resealing in Shotley Bridge

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shotley Bridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Questions from Shotley Bridge

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
