How we handle bath resealing in West Rainton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
