Bath Resealing for Hathersage homes
Our repair technicians come to Hathersage for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath resealing in Hathersage without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Hathersage
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried 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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hathersage
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Do you need bath resealing in Hathersage?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
