Bath resealing in Briery without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Briery
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When to call us in Briery
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Briery: your questions answered
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
