Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Bath resealing at your home in Long Riston
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Long Riston
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we are called out for in Long Riston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Landlord and trade work in Long Riston
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Long Riston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Long Riston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
