Bath resealing in Ripe without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
