Trusted bath resealing in Ridley

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we handle bath resealing in Ridley

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Do you need bath resealing in Ridley?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Ridley

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ridley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
