Bath resealing in Carleton, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Carleton
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do you come to Carleton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Carleton and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Carleton.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

- Gaps in the seal

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
If you are in Carleton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
