Bath resealing for Cowpe homes

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Bath resealing at your home in Cowpe

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Cowpe

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cowpe.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cowpe?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The colour and finish to match
Whether we combine several jobs
The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

The material, if you know it
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
One picture of the whole bath or shower

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BB4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 frequently lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

Wipe the joints dry after use
Ventilate the bathroom well
Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
We clean, treat and dry the joint.
We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ensure the room can be ventilated
