How we handle bath resealing in Barrow
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rutland.

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Barrow
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barrow and the rest of Rutland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Why it’s worth resealing in Barrow
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Do you need bath resealing in Barrow?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Barrow. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
