About our bath resealing in Youlgreave
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about stained silicone and unsealed corners.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Youlgreave, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Youlgreave questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
