About our bath resealing in Skerne Park
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Darlington.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
If you are in Skerne Park and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Common questions in Skerne Park
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Do you come to Skerne Park?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Skerne Park. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
