How we handle bath resealing in Dale Abbey
A good reseal is all about preparation: 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. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Dale Abbey questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Dale Abbey?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dale Abbey and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Dale Abbey included. Travel is included in the price.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
