Bath resealing for Ripley homes

About our bath resealing in Ripley

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Common questions in Ripley

Do you cover Ripley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ripley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ripley.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Ripley

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

When to call us in Ripley

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
