About our bath resealing in Coton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Coton as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Coton
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Coton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coton and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Coton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why it’s worth resealing in Coton
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
