About our bath resealing in Cromford
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and unsealed corners.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Cromford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about bath resealing in Cromford
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Cromford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cromford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
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.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
