  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Darley Dale. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

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.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Darley Dale questions

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Darley Dale as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
