Bath resealing at your home in West Tanfield
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in West Tanfield
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HG4 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What else we do in West Tanfield
What a repair can’t fix

- Basins & vanity units

Why reseal now?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for West Tanfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Tanfield
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Tanfield use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
We price from photos so you do not 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
