Bath resealing at your home in Copshaw Holm
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Copshaw Holm
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you come to Copshaw Holm?
We do. We send a technician to Copshaw Holm for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Resealing in Copshaw Holm: why it matters
