About our bath resealing in Shallcross

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shallcross

If you manage property in Shallcross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need bath resealing in Shallcross?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Shallcross questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Shallcross and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you cover Shallcross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shallcross. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
