About our bath resealing in Cordwell

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Common questions in Cordwell

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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 repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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 are called out for in Cordwell

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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