We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Other services in Coton
Landlord and trade work in Coton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why it’s worth resealing in Coton
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Questions from Coton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Are there extra charges for Coton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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 you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Coton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Coton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
