Bath resealing at your home in Copdock

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Copdock

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What we’re called out for in Copdock

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Copdock. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Copdock clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Copdock

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
