Bath Resealing in Derby

How bath resealing works in Derby

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Prices in Derby

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Derby

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
