Bath Resealing for Ratcliff homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Ratcliff and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Bath resealing in Ratcliff, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Common problems we fix in Ratcliff
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Ratcliff: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Ratcliff and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
