Bath resealing in Cog, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Cog questions

Do you cover the whole of the Vale of Glamorgan?

Everywhere in the UK, Cog included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How much does bath resealing cost in Cog?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Cog?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cog

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Cog

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Cog. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cog. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
