Resealing in Cossington: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle bath resealing in Cossington
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and stained silicone, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Do you need bath resealing in Cossington?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges

Questions from Cossington
How much does bath resealing cost in Cossington?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you come to Cossington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cossington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
