Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Hartshay

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Hartshay. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Upper Hartshay, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Upper Hartshay: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Upper Hartshay?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Upper Hartshay and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Upper Hartshay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
