Book bath resealing in Cocking

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting 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.

Bath resealing in Cocking, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cocking

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Cocking, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cocking

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Cocking customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Cocking: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
