Bath resealing in Hognaston, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right.

Hognaston questions
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Hognaston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Resealing in Hognaston: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hognaston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Read our pricing.
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What else we do in Hognaston
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
