Bath resealing at your home in Sandiacre
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Sandiacre: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does bath resealing cost in Sandiacre?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandiacre as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Do you need bath resealing in Sandiacre?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
