Bath resealing in Codicote Bottom without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Codicote Bottom

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Codicote Bottom use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Common problems we fix in Codicote Bottom

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Resealing in Codicote Bottom: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Codicote Bottom, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
