Bath Resealing in Derriton
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Derriton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Bath resealing at your home in Derriton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Derriton: your questions answered
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Derriton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Derriton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Derriton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What affects the price in Derriton
We don’t charge extra for travel to Derriton. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Derriton
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Landlord and trade work in Derriton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
