Cortworth: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the whole of Rotherham?
We cover the entire UK, including Cortworth and the rest of Rotherham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Bath resealing in Cortworth without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in Cortworth?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
