Bath resealing in Apperknowle, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Apperknowle. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Apperknowle

For anyone letting property in or around Apperknowle, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Apperknowle

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Apperknowle and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
