Bath resealing at your home in Appleby Magna
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Appleby Magna. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Appleby Magna: your questions answered
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Appleby Magna.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you need bath resealing in Appleby Magna?
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
