Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Wilton, Cumbria
We travel to Wilton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
Bath resealing in Wilton without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Wilton: your questions answered
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Wilton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Why it’s worth resealing in Wilton
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wilton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
