Bath resealing for Coscote homes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How we handle bath resealing in Coscote

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why it’s worth resealing in Coscote

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Coscote clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Most customers in Coscote get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Coscote

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in Coscote?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Questions from Coscote

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
