Bath resealing in Stockton

Bath resealing in Stockton without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Stockton questions

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Common problems we fix in Stockton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What affects the price in Stockton

There is no charge for travel to Stockton. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
