Landlords, agents and businesses in Far Cotton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bath resealing in Far Cotton, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant.
In and around Far Cotton, a reseal is a short visit, plus curing time.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Far Cotton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Landlords with property near Northampton station (about 1.2 miles north) use us between tenancies, so baths and showers are repaired rather than replaced.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. Visits around Far Cotton are usually simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Far Cotton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Far Cotton
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
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. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Your questions about bath resealing in Far Cotton
Can you reseal baths and showers in a rental near Northampton station?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is normally quicker than replacing.
Do you work for schools and businesses in Far Cotton?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
