Bath resealing for Cotham homes

Bath resealing at your home in Cotham

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Cotham

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Resealing in Cotham: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Cotham

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
