Bath Resealing for Common End homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Common End and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
Bath resealing in Common End without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Common End questions
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Common End. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Common End
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Common End get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
