Bath resealing in Whickham without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Whickham questions
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Whickham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Do you need bath resealing in Whickham?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
