How we handle bath resealing in Hincaster
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hincaster
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Hincaster
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Hincaster
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What we are called out for in Hincaster
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
