Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we handle bath resealing in Longtown
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath resealing in Longtown
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Longtown and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you come to Longtown?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Longtown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
