Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Brough, Cumbria
Local bath resealing for Brough: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Stained silicone
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in Brough, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Brough. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Brough questions
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Brough?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Brough?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Brough and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Landlord and trade work in Brough
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Brough clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Brough
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
