Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Causeway End, Cumbria
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Causeway End, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
How we handle bath resealing in Causeway End
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Causeway End: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover Causeway End?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Causeway End and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we are called out for in Causeway End
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Most clients in Causeway End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Resealing in Causeway End: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely.
