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

Bath resealing in Ironville, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Resealing in Ironville: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Common questions in Ironville
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Ironville?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Ironville?
We do. Technicians travel to Ironville from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
