Calow questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How we handle bath resealing in Calow

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Calow and across Derbyshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, 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 around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
