How we handle bath resealing in Rift House
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Rift House
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Rift House, 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.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Rift House: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Why it’s worth resealing in Rift House
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rift House
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need bath resealing in Rift House
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
