What we’re called out for in Rapps
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Rapps
There is no area surcharge for Rapps. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Resealing in Rapps: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- 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.

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Rapps: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Rapps?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rapps for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
