Bath resealing in Salthouse, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salthouse use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Salthouse and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Salthouse
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
