About our bath resealing in Ripple

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and damp near the bath, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Resealing in Ripple: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Do you need bath resealing in Ripple?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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 you book.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Ripple

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work in Ripple?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ripple and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
