FAQs for Belper

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Bath resealing in Belper without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos 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 quote the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Belper

There is no charge for travel to Belper. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Belper. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belper

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why it’s worth resealing in Belper

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
