Resealing in Riby: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How we handle bath resealing in Riby
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Riby
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Riby: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Riby. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Riby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Riby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
