Bath resealing in Cothill without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Cothill

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Cothill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Cothill

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Cothill included. Travel is included in the price.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Cothill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cothill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Different materials, different repairs

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 do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
