Bath resealing at your home in Matlock
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Matlock use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
FAQs for Matlock
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Matlock?
We don’t add a call-out fee. 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 homeowners in Matlock.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Matlock?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Matlock and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
