How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
Coton in the Elms questions
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Coton in the Elms and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you cover Coton in the Elms?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Coton in the Elms from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Landlord and trade work in Coton in the Elms
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What else we do in Coton in the Elms
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in Coton in the Elms
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
