Bath resealing in Ranby without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and gaps by the taps, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ranby and across Nottinghamshire.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ranby
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ranby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Ranby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ranby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Landlord and trade work in Ranby
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ranby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we are called out for in Ranby
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Common reasons people in Ranby contact us are:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What affects the price in Ranby
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Ranby, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
