How we handle bath resealing in Cote

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Cote

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Cote

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you work in Cote?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Cote from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When to call us in Cote

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • 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, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cote

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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