How we handle bath resealing in Blackwell
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry

Questions from Blackwell
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Blackwell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blackwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Other services in Blackwell
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
