Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
About our bath resealing in Coldra
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can usually put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

FAQs for Coldra
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Coldra.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coldra. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
