- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

How we handle bath resealing in Gleaston
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and gaps by the taps.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Gleaston
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gleaston?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LA12 postcode.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Common problems we fix in Gleaston
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
