Bath resealing at your home in Press
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
What affects the price in Press
We don’t charge extra for travel to Press. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Press, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Press
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Resealing in Press: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
