How bath resealing works in Derry

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairing versus replacing

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Derry. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we’re called out for in Derry

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Derry questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
