Bath Resealing for Cosmore homes
Bath resealing across Cosmore and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Cosmore
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and stained silicone.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath resealing in Cosmore?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A messy previous reseal

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Cosmore. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cosmore. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, 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, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
If you manage property in Cosmore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Cosmore questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
