Bath resealing at your home in Ripley
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

When we’d advise against a repair

- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Your questions about bath resealing in Ripley
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Ripley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Ripley
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Unsealed corners
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
