How we handle bath resealing in Derrythorpe
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Derrythorpe: your questions answered
Do you work in Derrythorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Derrythorpe. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
