Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Washington, Sunderland
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Washington and across Sunderland. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
For landlords and businesses
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 also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Bath resealing in Washington, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Washington: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Resealing in Washington: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Washington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
