Bath resealing at your home in Leasgill

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlord and trade work in Leasgill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Leasgill

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Leasgill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Leasgill

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Leasgill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Leasgill and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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