About our bath resealing in Derby
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derby.
Derby: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Derby. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

When to call us in Derby
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in Derby
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Derby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Other services in Derby
Landlord and trade work in Derby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
