What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in Middridge, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Middridge
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth resealing in Middridge
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Middridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Middridge
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Middridge?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL5 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you need bath resealing in Middridge?
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
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
