Bath resealing in Slaley without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Slaley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Your questions about bath resealing in Slaley
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What affects the price in Slaley
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos 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
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Slaley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hidden water damage

- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
