Bath resealing in Coton without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are frequently asked to fix stained silicone and an untidy old seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Coton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Coton: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Coton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

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

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
