Landlord and trade work in Cockshoot
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cockshoot
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Cockshoot. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why it’s worth resealing in Cockshoot
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

Questions from Cockshoot
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are there extra charges for Cockshoot?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
