Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

About our bath resealing in Tideswell

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tideswell as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Tideswell

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Tideswell

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tideswell

If you manage property in Tideswell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Resealing in Tideswell: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Tideswell customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Tideswell

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Tideswell

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Derbyshire.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
