Bath resealing at your home in Ringwell

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ringwell

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Ringwell

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most customers in Ringwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ringwell

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Can you quote from photos?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Resealing in Ringwell: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
