What we’re called out for in Sunniside
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

How we handle bath resealing in Sunniside
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Sunniside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sunniside
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Gateshead?
All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sunniside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
If you are in Sunniside and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
