Bath resealing near Keswick

Bath resealing in Keswick without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath resealing in Keswick

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Keswick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Keswick: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are there extra charges for Keswick?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Keswick?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Keswick and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
