How we handle bath resealing in Darley Abbey
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and stained silicone, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Darley Abbey
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Darley Abbey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Darley Abbey
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
