How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Southwaite, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing in Southwaite, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s unsealed corners and gaps in the seal, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Common questions in Southwaite
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Southwaite?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Southwaite. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Southwaite and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
