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.

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.

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?

Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
