Bath resealing at your home in Coldred
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Coldred
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again

What affects the price in Coldred
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Coldred. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Coldred
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
