Bath Resealing in Cotherstone
Our technicians come to Cotherstone for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
About our bath resealing in Cotherstone
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix stained silicone and leaks at the edges, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cotherstone and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Landlord and trade work in Cotherstone
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we’re called out for in Cotherstone
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal

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. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Cotherstone
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What else we do in Cotherstone
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What affects the price in Cotherstone
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
