Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Wideopen, Newcastle upon Tyne
Fixed-price bath resealing in Wideopen and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How we handle bath resealing in Wideopen
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and stained silicone, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wideopen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Wideopen, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Wideopen questions

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wideopen, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
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. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
