Bath resealing in Stainburn, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stainburn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Stainburn

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Common problems we fix in Stainburn

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Stainburn

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stainburn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
