Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Penny Bridge, Cumbria
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Penny Bridge, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Bath resealing in Penny Bridge without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we cannot put right

- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Penny Bridge
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Penny Bridge
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work in Penny Bridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penny Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in Penny Bridge
We do not charge extra for travel to Penny Bridge. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Penny Bridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
