About our bath resealing in Cove
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Other services in Cove
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cove
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
FAQs for Cove
Do you cover Cove?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cove. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
