Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Wheatley Hill customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Wheatley Hill

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

FAQs for Wheatley Hill

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wheatley Hill?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DH6 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Wheatley Hill

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
