Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Broadwath, Cumbria
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Broadwath, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing in Broadwath, done in place
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. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Broadwath
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadwath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Broadwath
Do you come to Broadwath?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Broadwath. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Broadwath, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
