Bath resealing in Cofton, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Questions from Cofton

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Cofton and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Landlord and trade work in Cofton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Resealing in Cofton: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far 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 us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Cofton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
