- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

About our bath resealing in Snelston
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Snelston
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Snelston
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Snelston
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Snelston contact us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Snelston
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, so Snelston is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
