Bath Resealing for Cosgrove homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Cosgrove, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we handle bath resealing in Cosgrove
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Cosgrove
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Cosgrove
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 once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Cosgrove
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
