Birdholme: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
About our bath resealing in Birdholme
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Birdholme and across Derbyshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
