Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cotes, Cumbria
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Cotes and across Cumbria. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
About our bath resealing in Cotes
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotes as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Cotes, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Common problems we fix in Cotes
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried 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.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Cotes
We charge the same across the UK, including Cotes. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
