Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lowca, Cumbria
We travel to Lowca for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Bath resealing in Lowca, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lowca. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Lowca
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in Lowca?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Common reasons people in Lowca contact us are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lowca
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Advice
FAQs for Lowca
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lowca?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
