Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newbiggin, Cumbria
We travel to Newbiggin for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Bath resealing in Newbiggin without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Newbiggin
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Newbiggin
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
