Bath Resealing in Cove Bay
Bath resealing in and around Cove Bay: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing in Cove Bay without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

FAQs for Cove Bay
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work in Cove Bay?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cove Bay. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
