Advice
Bath resealing at your home in Downfield
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone

Why reseal now?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about bath resealing in Downfield
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Downfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Downfield and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Downfield.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
