About our bath resealing in Leece
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Leece
We don’t charge extra for travel to Leece. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Leece get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Leece and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
