Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Do you need bath resealing in Cottingley?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Cottingley questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cottingley?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
