About our bath resealing in South Hetton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
South Hetton questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in South Hetton.
Are there extra charges for South Hetton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Common problems we fix in South Hetton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Common reasons people in South Hetton contact us are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
