How we handle bath resealing in Cookshill

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Cookshill: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you work in Cookshill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cookshill and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cookshill.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What affects the price in Cookshill

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cookshill

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Landlord and trade work in Cookshill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
