Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bassenthwaite, Cumbria
Fixed-price bath resealing in Bassenthwaite and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
Bath resealing in Bassenthwaite, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bassenthwaite
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Bassenthwaite, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we’re called out for in Bassenthwaite
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for these signs:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

- What protection goes down before work starts

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bassenthwaite

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
