Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Osmaston. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Osmaston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in Osmaston
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Osmaston contact us are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you cover the whole of Derby?
Across the UK, and that includes Osmaston. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
