About our bath resealing in Askham
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Askham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Askham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Askham
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you work in Askham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Askham and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Resealing in Askham: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area

What we’re called out for in Askham
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Askham
If you manage property in Askham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
