Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hackthorpe, Cumbria
Local bath resealing for Hackthorpe: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing in Hackthorpe without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and gaps in the seal.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Advice
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Hackthorpe questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Do you need bath resealing in Hackthorpe?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
