Bath resealing in Risegate without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Do you need bath resealing in Risegate?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from Risegate
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Advice
What affects the price in Risegate
We charge the same across the UK, including Risegate. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
