Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ticknall, Derbyshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Ticknall, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Ticknall without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Ticknall, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Ticknall
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ticknall included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When to call us in Ticknall
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Resealing in Ticknall: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
