Bath resealing in Woodthorpe, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Woodthorpe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodthorpe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What else we do in Woodthorpe
When to call us in Woodthorpe
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Resealing in Woodthorpe: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Take a look at our pricing.
What affects the price in Woodthorpe
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Woodthorpe: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Woodthorpe?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Woodthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
