Questions from Tyne Dock
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you come to Tyne Dock?
We do. We send a technician to Tyne Dock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Bath resealing at your home in Tyne Dock
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Resealing in Tyne Dock: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
