Bath resealing in Wharton, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What affects the price in Wharton
We charge the same across the UK, including Wharton. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Wharton
Do you come to Wharton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wharton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Wharton and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
