About our bath resealing in Derbyshire Dales
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with stained silicone and an untidy old seal, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Derbyshire Dales
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Derbyshire Dales
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Derbyshire Dales use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
