Bath resealing in Riddings, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Riddings
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Riddings. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Riddings
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
