For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottered as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common problems we fix in Cottered
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Cottered questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you come to Cottered?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cottered and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Cottered
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Cottered
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
