How we handle bath resealing in Cossall
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Cossall
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Cossall contact us are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
FAQs for Cossall
Do you cover Cossall?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cossall and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Nottinghamshire.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Cossall
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Cossall
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
