Bath resealing in Peak Forest, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Peak Forest. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Peak Forest. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Peak Forest
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Signs you need bath resealing in Peak Forest
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
