What affects the price in Butterley

- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Butterley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about bath resealing in Butterley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butterley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Signs you need bath resealing in Butterley
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
