Questions from Somercotes
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Somercotes and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When to call us in Somercotes
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Look out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Somercotes

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somercotes use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Somercotes, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material
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, to open the joint fully.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
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.
