Coopersale questions
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Coopersale. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
