Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Bath resealing in Pilsley without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Pilsley

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Pilsley

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Your questions about bath resealing in Pilsley

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pilsley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
