Bath Resealing in Carlisle
We travel to Carlisle for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Leaks at the edges
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Bath resealing at your home in Carlisle
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Carlisle and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.
What else we do in Carlisle
Landlord and trade work in Carlisle
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Carlisle clients choose us

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Carlisle. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carlisle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
