Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Cockernhoe. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Do you need bath resealing in Cockernhoe?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Cockernhoe: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover the entire of Luton?

All of Luton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Cockernhoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
