Bath Resealing for Usworth homes
We travel to Usworth for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Usworth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Bath resealing at your home in Usworth
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Usworth
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice

Usworth questions
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Usworth?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
