FAQs for Coppice
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How we handle bath resealing in Coppice
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coppice. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Coppice
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Coppice
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coppice use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
