About our bath resealing in Cosby
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and gaps in the seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Cosby
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
How much does bath resealing cost in Cosby?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you come to Cosby?
We do. We send a technician to Cosby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Signs you need bath resealing in Cosby
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Cosby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
