Bath resealing across Spring Cottage and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spring Cottage
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Bath resealing in Spring Cottage without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and stained silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
When to call us in Spring Cottage
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Spring Cottage questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
