About our bath resealing in Ridgeway

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Ridgeway: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you work in Ridgeway?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ridgeway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Ridgeway, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlord and trade work in Ridgeway

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
