DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle bath resealing in Pipe Ridware

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

When to call us in Pipe Ridware

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Pipe Ridware

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Pipe Ridware?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pipe Ridware

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pipe Ridware as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
