Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Bath resealing in Dragley Beck without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Questions from Dragley Beck
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common problems we fix in Dragley Beck
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath

What else we do in Dragley Beck
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why it’s worth resealing in Dragley Beck
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
