How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Bakewell

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Bakewell

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bakewell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Bakewell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Resealing in Bakewell: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, 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.

Common questions in Bakewell

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
