Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Bath resealing in Idridgehay, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Idridgehay
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Idridgehay?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What areas do you cover?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Idridgehay
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Idridgehay use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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’re 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.
