How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Bath resealing in Makeney without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Makeney, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about bath resealing in Makeney
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Makeney
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Makeney as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
