Do you need bath resealing in Rickinghall?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Bath resealing in Rickinghall without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Rickinghall: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Rickinghall?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
