How we handle bath resealing in Cox Green
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What we’re called out for in Cox Green
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Cox Green contact us include:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
