Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Moorend, Derbyshire
We travel to Moorend for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we handle bath resealing in Moorend
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Moorend
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE6 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Resealing in Moorend: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Moorend

- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
