Bath resealing near Cottesmore

Bath resealing at your home in Cottesmore

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Cottesmore

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cottesmore

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Cottesmore customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Cottesmore questions

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you cover Cottesmore?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cottesmore from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What affects the price in Cottesmore

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cottesmore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
