Crook: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you come to Crook?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Crook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How we handle bath resealing in Crook

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crook and across Cumbria.

Landlord and trade work in Crook
If you manage property in Crook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Why it’s worth resealing in Crook
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Crook. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
