About our bath resealing in Cotton End
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Your questions about bath resealing in Cotton End
Do you cover Cotton End?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cotton End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
