Bath resealing in Sunderland without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sunderland and the surrounding area.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Your questions about bath resealing in Sunderland
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Sunderland?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What else we do in Sunderland
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
