Bath resealing in Kirkland without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kirkland and across Cumbria.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkland
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When to call us in Kirkland
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Most clients in Kirkland get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Kirkland. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Questions from Kirkland
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kirkland?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
