How we handle bath resealing in Lower Birchwood
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Lower Birchwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

What else we do in Lower Birchwood
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Birchwood
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.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lower Birchwood.
Do you work in Lower Birchwood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lower Birchwood and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
