Bath resealing in Upper Coxley without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Upper Coxley

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

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.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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 will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Upper Coxley

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Resealing in Upper Coxley: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Upper Coxley. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

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