Bath resealing in Cartmel, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Cartmel: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cartmel?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Cartmel. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

Landlord and trade work in Cartmel

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cartmel as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK
