- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we handle bath resealing in Flimby
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. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Your questions about bath resealing in Flimby
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Flimby and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Flimby. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Flimby
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Resealing in Flimby: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we’re called out for in Flimby
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
