Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Whiteclosegate, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Whiteclosegate. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Resealing in Whiteclosegate: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Common questions in Whiteclosegate
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Everywhere in the UK, Whiteclosegate included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Whiteclosegate?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
