Bath resealing for Ripley homes

Ripley: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Bath resealing in Ripley without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Ripley?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Ripley. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ripley

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ripley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
