Bath resealing in Cotehill without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, we can help.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Common questions in Cotehill
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cotehill?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
