Bath resealing near Kirk Ireton

Bath resealing in Kirk Ireton without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Kirk Ireton: your questions answered

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Kirk Ireton and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Kirk Ireton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Kirk Ireton

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Kirk Ireton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirk Ireton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Kirk Ireton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.
