Bath resealing in Riseholme without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Signs you need bath resealing in Riseholme

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

FAQs for Riseholme

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Riseholme. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
