Bath resealing at your home in Atlow

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • 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.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What affects the price in Atlow

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Atlow questions

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need bath resealing in Atlow

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
