Bath resealing for Cotleigh homes

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlord and trade work in Cotleigh

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units

Common problems we fix in Cotleigh

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Cotleigh: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cotleigh?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX14 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What affects the price in Cotleigh

We do not charge extra for travel to Cotleigh. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
