Bath resealing in Cottingley, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Cottingley?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Cottingley: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
