Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lakeside, Cumbria
Bath resealing across Lakeside and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath resealing in Lakeside, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Lakeside
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lakeside. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is my repair covered?

Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
