What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Copley
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Copley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about bath resealing in Copley
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Copley.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we’re called out for in Copley
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
