Bath resealing at your home in Mickleover

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

If you manage property in Mickleover, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why it’s worth resealing in Mickleover

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Mickleover

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Mickleover.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Do you need bath resealing in Mickleover?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.
