A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Resealing in Wrekenton: why it matters
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wrekenton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

There’s no area surcharge for Wrekenton. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Wrekenton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
