Bath resealing for Cosmeston homes

Questions from Cosmeston

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Bath resealing at your home in Cosmeston

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cosmeston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cosmeston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Cosmeston

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
