Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bargate
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Bargate
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bargate?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DE56 postcode.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Bargate
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why it’s worth resealing in Bargate
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
