Bath resealing near Cowcliffe

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Cowcliffe

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HD2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Cowcliffe

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you come to Cowcliffe?

We do. We send a technician to Cowcliffe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cowcliffe

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
