All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can generally put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

What affects the price in North Scale
We do not charge extra for travel to North Scale. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Common questions in North Scale
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, North Scale included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you cover North Scale?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to North Scale and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Do you need bath resealing in North Scale?
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
