Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

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

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath resealing at your home in Earl Sterndale

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Earl Sterndale questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Earl Sterndale and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How much does bath resealing cost in Earl Sterndale?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
