Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How we handle bath resealing in Derker
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath resealing in Derker
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Derker

- Baths

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Derker questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Derker?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Derker?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
