How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Bath resealing at your home in Winlaton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gateshead.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winlaton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Do you need bath resealing in Winlaton?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Winlaton questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
