Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Buckland Ripers
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How much does bath resealing cost in Buckland Ripers?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
