About our bath resealing in South Church

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about stained silicone and an untidy old seal.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Common questions in South Church

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

Everywhere in the UK, South Church included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in South Church

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Church use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure 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, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Signs you need bath resealing in South Church

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
