Bath resealing in Rishangles, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Rishangles, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

FAQs for Rishangles

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Rishangles?

We do. We send a technician to Rishangles for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why it’s worth resealing in Rishangles

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
