About our bath resealing in Ridlington

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Ridlington questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Ridlington. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ridlington

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

If you’re in Ridlington and want a price, 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.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
