Bath resealing in Skelsmergh without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Skelsmergh questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Skelsmergh?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Skelsmergh and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
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.
Common problems we fix in Skelsmergh
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
