Bath resealing in Tursdale

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Bath resealing in Tursdale, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, 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. Whether it’s damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

If you are in Tursdale and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need bath resealing in Tursdale?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps

Your questions about bath resealing in Tursdale

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
