Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cossington, Leicestershire
Bath resealing in Cossington without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle bath resealing in Cossington
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Cossington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cossington
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cossington
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Cossington customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One price list for the whole UK

What else we do in Cossington
Cossington questions
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 is not disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
