About our bath resealing in South Bents
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in South Bents
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you cover South Bents?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to South Bents and the rest of Sunderland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Sunderland.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in South Bents
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Bents. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Bents, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Resealing in South Bents: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why South Bents clients choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
