Bath resealing for North Ripley homes

Bath resealing at your home in North Ripley

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in North Ripley as everywhere else we work.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business

Signs you need bath resealing in North Ripley

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Ripley

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around North Ripley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

FAQs for North Ripley

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to North Ripley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to North Ripley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
