Bath resealing at your home in Carleton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Resealing in Carleton: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Carleton. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Carleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton
If you manage property in Carleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Carleton
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Signs you need bath resealing in Carleton
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
