Bath resealing at your home in Barrow Island
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Barrow Island. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Barrow Island, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Barrow Island
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: 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.
