About our bath resealing in Cotes
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Cotes
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cotes?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Are there extra charges for Cotes?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotes use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Signs you need bath resealing in Cotes
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Cotes. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cotes. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
