Bath resealing in Tibshelf, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tibshelf and across Derbyshire.

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.

What else we do in Tibshelf
Landlord and trade work in Tibshelf
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
