Bath resealing at your home in West Blackdene
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, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Resealing in West Blackdene: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Common questions in West Blackdene
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Landlord and trade work in West Blackdene
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to West Blackdene. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in West Blackdene and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
