Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Bath resealing at your home in Hardwick Wood
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Hardwick Wood
Do you cover Hardwick Wood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hardwick Wood and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- 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.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
