Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Salterbeck, Cumbria
Fixed-price bath resealing in Salterbeck and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal

Bath resealing in Salterbeck without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Salterbeck: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover Salterbeck?
We do. Technicians travel to Salterbeck from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Salterbeck
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Signs you need bath resealing in Salterbeck
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.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Salterbeck
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it

What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Salterbeck. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Salterbeck. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
