Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Great Broughton, Cumbria
Fixed-price bath resealing in Great Broughton and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Signs you need bath resealing in Great Broughton
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Great Broughton
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you work in Great Broughton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Broughton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
