Bath resealing in Coveney

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Coveney, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Common problems we fix in Coveney

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coveney use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Coveney

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
