About our bath resealing in Shirland

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: 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.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Shirland

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

When to call us in Shirland

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Shirland

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

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Shirland. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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