FAQs for Ridgmont
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 will tell you.
How much does bath resealing cost in Ridgmont?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Ridgmont. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
