Bath resealing at your home in Cove
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and stained silicone.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Cove questions
How long will it take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Cove?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cove. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TD13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Cove
