Bath resealing for Ewe Cote homes

Bath resealing in Ewe Cote, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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 happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

What affects the price in Ewe Cote

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Ewe Cote: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you cover Ewe Cote?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ewe Cote for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Ewe Cote

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
