Bath resealing in Derringstone without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Derringstone as everywhere else we work.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Advice
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For a price in Derringstone, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

Signs you need bath resealing in Derringstone
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Derringstone contact us include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
