Advice
Bath resealing in Stretton en le Field, done in place
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, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Stretton en le Field
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Stretton en le Field
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
