Bath resealing in Carr Bank without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Carr Bank
There is no area surcharge for Carr Bank. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Carr Bank questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What we’re called out for in Carr Bank
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
