About our bath resealing in Markeaton
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Markeaton questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Markeaton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derby.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Common problems we fix in Markeaton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Markeaton
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
