How we handle bath resealing in Ridsdale
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. Whether it’s unsealed corners and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone

What else we do in Ridsdale
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Ridsdale. The price comes down to:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ridsdale, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit

Ridsdale: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ridsdale. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Ridsdale?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ridsdale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
