Bath resealing for Dronfield Woodhouse homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we handle bath resealing in Dronfield Woodhouse

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dronfield Woodhouse and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Dronfield Woodhouse questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Dronfield Woodhouse?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Common problems we fix in Dronfield Woodhouse

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Dronfield Woodhouse

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
