When to call us in Ratley

- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant

How we handle bath resealing in Ratley
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ratley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Ratley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about bath resealing in Ratley
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ratley?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Different materials, different repairs
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, with the joint fully dried first.
