Bath resealing in Appleby-in-Westmorland, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Appleby-in-Westmorland
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
