- An untidy old seal

Bath resealing in Ripple, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Ripple
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ripple as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Ripple, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Your questions about bath resealing in Ripple
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ripple
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Look out for any of the following:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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 usually cheaper.
