DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
About our bath resealing in Cotonwood
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cotonwood
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
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.
Common problems we fix in Cotonwood
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Cotonwood. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Cotonwood and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why reseal now?
