Bath resealing for Wearhead homes

How we handle bath resealing in Wearhead

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Wearhead: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Wearhead?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wearhead and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Wearhead and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wearhead

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Wearhead

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wearhead

If you manage property in Wearhead, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wearhead, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What affects the price in Wearhead

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
