If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Bath resealing in Stainton without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, 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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stainton and across Middlesbrough.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Stainton
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Stainton questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When to call us in Stainton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
