Bath resealing for Allestree homes

What we’re called out for in Allestree

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing at your home in Allestree

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Allestree and across Derby.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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, with the joint fully dried first.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Allestree

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

If you’re in Allestree and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
