Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Pentrich, Derbyshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Pentrich, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Pentrich
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What affects the price in Pentrich
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Pentrich get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pentrich. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pentrich
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
