How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Common problems we fix in Matlock Bath

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in Matlock Bath contact us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Matlock Bath customers choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Matlock Bath

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 there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Matlock Bath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Matlock Bath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

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

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Matlock Bath, and we will reply with a fixed price.
