Common questions in Tanfield Lea
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Tanfield Lea, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath resealing in Tanfield Lea?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tanfield Lea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
