Bath resealing at your home in Starkholmes
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Starkholmes. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Starkholmes questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Starkholmes
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
