Milnthorpe: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Milnthorpe?

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Milnthorpe and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Bath resealing in Milnthorpe without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Milnthorpe
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
