Common questions in Cockington
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Run 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.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.

Landlord and trade work in Cockington
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
