Bath resealing in Aglionby without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Take a look at our full price list.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aglionby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Aglionby

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Aglionby and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
