How we handle bath resealing in Bleatarn
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bleatarn and across Cumbria.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Bleatarn
We charge the same across the UK, including Bleatarn. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Bleatarn, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in Bleatarn
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bleatarn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Bleatarn
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price

Advice
Bleatarn: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Bleatarn?
We do. Technicians travel to Bleatarn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
