Questions from Mapperley
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Mapperley?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Bath resealing in Mapperley without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Resealing in Mapperley: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
Read our full price list.
What affects the price in Mapperley
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Mapperley
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
