Your questions about bath resealing in Brigsteer
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Everywhere in the UK, Brigsteer included. Travel is included in the price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Bath resealing at your home in Brigsteer
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Brigsteer and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairs by material
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.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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 do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Brigsteer
We do not charge extra for travel to Brigsteer. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
