Resealing in Kings Ripton: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our bath resealing in Kings Ripton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Kings Ripton
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When to call us in Kings Ripton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Kings Ripton. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
